Perhaps conscience did not always produce cowards. Sometimes it made a man feel better about himself.

Summary

This quote suggests that conscience, generally associated with a sense of moral responsibility, can sometimes have positive effects. It proposes that instead of causing fear or cowardice, one's conscience can actually instill a sense of self-assurance and well-being. The implication is that acting in alignment with one's conscience can lead to a feeling of personal satisfaction and righteousness. This interpretation suggests that the influence of conscience can vary and may sometimes act as a source of strength rather than weakness.
